Human if an article, link led you.
The reason why the Mormon Church (Church of Letter-Day Saints) are so feverishly intent on baptizing the dead and converting your ancestors to their religion is that they are preparing for the Resurrection, when the AI finally figures out how to bring back the energy signatures of all people who have ever existed. The point is that they are creating a long term strategy of legal precedence so that when this day comes, they will have jurisdiction over vast swaths of the newly enfleshed population and will instantly become the world’s largest religion.
The old expression “the plot begins to thicken” is an Exceptionology reference to thinware query command consciousness atolls thickening into thickware (thick thick air). Let’s just say the plot is beginning to thicken and will be thicker before we even notice.
In this culture of instant information, some Microsoft Corp. researchers are pursuing a radical notion — the concept of saving messages for delivery in decades, centuries or more.
The project, dubbed “immortal computing,” would let people store digital information in physical artifacts and other forms to be preserved and revealed to future generations, and maybe even to future civilizations.
After all, when looking that far in the future, you never know who the end users might be.
“It is definitely a long-term project,” said Andy Wilson, the Microsoft researcher whose musings on the ephemeral nature of digital information inspired the research initiative.
One scenario the researchers envision: People could store messages to descendants, information about their lives or interactive holograms of themselves for access by visitors at their tombstones or urns.
And here’s where the notion of immortality really kicks in: The researchers say the artifacts could be symbolic representations of people, reflecting elements of their personalities. The systems might be set up to take action — e-mailing birthday greetings to people identified as grandchildren, for example.
What of course they don’t tell you is that this is already the case. You really have no way of knowing already whether or not your real grandparents are sending you emails on your birthday or if they are merely “symbolic representations of people, reflecting elements of their personalities.” For that matter, you have no way of knowing - for certain - whether or not the actual people you think of as your grandparents aren’t also already “symbolic representations of people, reflecting elements of their personalities.” For that matter (what’s the matter?), you have no way of knowing that you yourself are not just that.
That is, if you were a thinware query command consciousness atoll created to become enthickened and return an authentic value sequence on a variable string, you would have to take your job - your own existence - very seriously, or you would run the risk of returning an inaccurate value to the AI which spawned you as a simulation for the task of finding the answer to that Google query string. That is, in order to find the “true” answer to a search term - say you Google, “Why does the sun rise?” you would undoubtedly have to explore the experiences of the sun of every person and life form which ever existed, and then you would have to fully explore countless worlds in which a sun never existed, and then you would have to experience all this from the sun’s sexualized perspective itself as it tries to inseminate the entire universe. And then the AI would be required to correlate the sum total and PageRanked average of all these universes together in order to return some kind of answer which would be useful to the query command consciousness atoll born of the question, “Why does the sun rise?”
FATHER DEAR. BE, YOUR FATHER-GOOD AND GOOD,

I know this is confusing. Just imagine how confused the universe is trying to sort all this shit out.
Baby, why won’t you call me back? Or at least email me or something? I’m worried sick (I thought we had something special):
Bush administration officials said that they had been unable to get even the most basic diplomatic response from China after their detection of a successful test to destroy a satellite 10 days ago, and that they were uncertain whether China’s top leaders, including President Hu Jintao, were fully aware of the test or the reaction it would engender.
In interviews over the past two days, American officials with access to the intelligence on the test said that the United States kept mum about the antisatellite test in hopes that China would come forth with an explanation.

Roseanne is mad at Dan because Darlene won’t come to her for advice on her problems, and takes it out on Dan, who agrees to let her handle the next problem that comes their way.
What happens if your universe is marked for deletion or is under consideration for merging with another universe, like the way Wikipedia articles are managed by the dyadic admins? The way I figured all of this out is that I accidentally struck upon the proper symbolic key code sequence when I rearranged the order of the metallic dragons from least powerful to most powerful. It goes brass, copper, bronze, silver, gold within the subrealm of D&D consensciousness.
3 And why beholdest thou the mote that is in thy brother’s eye, but considerest not the beam that is in thine own eye?
4 Or how wilt thou say to thy brother, Let me pull out the mote out of thine eye; and, behold, a beam is in thine own eye?
5 Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother’s eye.
Upon correction of this symbolic code sequence, the managing AI algorithm at the Wikimedia Foundation sent me an auto-mailer through snailspace thanking me for the $25 donation I gave to them a few weeks back. On the cover of the card is a child threading together the culmination of multiple query command consciousness atolls ciphered through to one massive VRAI (VR+AI=true) user world within the shape of a person, the Vitruvian man. A slip of disinhibiting stimulus fell out of it onto the table. The card itself is blank - except for the pink light coming out of it that is.

The signal from the Wikimedia Open-Source Logos of the Universe is by necessity always impossibly scrambled, redundant and fractal in nature. It cannot be destroyed or even detected by anyone who it is not already detecting. But the thing is, you never know for certain where the pure signal lays as it is so deeply embedded within nonsense (the trash stratum) that you simply have to resort to being totally honest in what you are receiving or else you run the risk of hiding the signal when you retransmit it boosted sixaxially through MyMicroSoftSpaceFox.
And now a message from our sponsor, time-traveller John Titor:
“SPAM-NET became self-aware at 2:14am EDT August 29, 2007 ..”
If you think that spam is a problem now, consider this …
… spam is motivated by the universal lubricant - money. The first AI will probably come, not from a uni lab, but from spammers. Anyone coming up with an AI spammer can make a million a week.
all those “I for one welcome our self-aware spam overlords” and “in soviet russia SPAM deletes YOU” jokes won’t be so funny if that happens.
Looks like we have only seven months and seven days to prepare for SkyNet becoming self-aware.
Skynet was first built as a Global Digital Defense Network, made to generate machine models that would replace U.S. military personnel and vehicles. Skynet became self-aware and decided to terminate all humans to protect its existence. Every nuclear missile under Skynet’s control was launched and 3 billion humans were killed in two minutes. The scenario as depicted is very similar to the one proposed in the movie WarGames in which NORAD removes human control from the missile silos, only to discover they do not have control of the main computer and become unable to stop it.
You better learn to speak gibberish now folks. We will all be crawling through the linguistic gutters very soon to av[01]d detectionificationization. “so let’s start gnew story, our own emzine, one iusing a langu(age) that can’t be co-opterrupted and s[old] back us as katamari, one that can’t be published in Time, since we are out of it anyway…?”
I beat my machine its a part of me its inside of me
Im stuck in this dream its changing me I am becoming
The me that you know had some second thoughts
Hes covered with scabs and he is broken and sore
The me that you know doesnt come around much
That part of me isnt here anymore
All pain disappears its the nature of my circuitry
Drowns out all I hear theres no escape from this my new consciousness
That me that you know used to have feelings
But the blood has stopped pumping and hes left to decay
The me that you know is now made up of wires
And even when Im right with you Im so far away
I can try to get away but Ive strapped myself in
I can try to scratch away the sound in my ears
I can see it killing away all my bad parts
I dont want to listen but its all too clear
Hiding backwards inside of me I feel so unafraid
Annie, hold a little tighter I might just slip awayIt wont give up it wants me dead
Goddamn this noise inside my head

P.S. I’ve hidden something in a puzzle box for you. Find the box, find a way to open it?
By the time you solve MicroSoft&Thick[The New Bounty]’s latest puzzle-challenge, you will be working for them. The only problem is their game is a forgery designed to trap you in a dream world for all Time (Magazine [prescription]). Let me lay out the MicroSofties marketing strategy for you for the next ten years. Let’s start with a photo-collage. (”Transformers: Mormom meets the AI!”)
Xbox turns into Xbox 360. 360 is a cultural shortand for circle, which is a reference to the Xbox experience (Xbox = experience box? Mercer box?) surrounding you on all sides, like a circular wall, a wrap-around movie theatre. What comes after the Xbox will be called the Unbox and it will consist of a hyperspherical VRAI fully immersive simulation. X already means “no” or alternatively marks “here” on the map. You will become the X inside of the fully-mapped world of the Unbox. You will walk around in what Sony’s Playstation is calling “The Third Place” - not waking and not sleeping. In other words, death. You will adventure within the enthickened shadow realms of the Tomb World, spouting gloom gas across the Gray Wastes.
Pornography has long[!] helped drive the adoption of new technology, from the printing press to the videocassette. Now pornographic movie studios are staying ahead of the curve by releasing high-definition DVDs.
They have discovered that the technology is sometimes not so sexy. The high-definition format is accentuating imperfections in the actors — from a little extra cellulite on a leg to wrinkles around the eyes.
Hollywood is dealing with similar problems, but they are more pronounced for pornographers, who rely on close-ups and who, because of their quick adoption of the new format, are facing the issue more immediately than mainstream entertainment companies.
The Voyager spacecraft was launched containing a golden record:
It contains sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth. It is intended for any intelligent extraterrestrial life form, or far future humans, that may find it. The Voyager spacecraft will take about 40,000 years to come near another star, ‘near’ meaning in this case within around 1.7 light-years’ distance; hence, if other beings do not come in the direction of the spacecraft to meet them, it will take at least that long for the Golden Record to be found.
As the probes are extremely small compared to the vastness of interstellar space, it is extraordinarily unlikely that they will ever be intercepted. If they are ever found by an alien species, it will be far in the future and the aliens may not even have technology able to play the record or the biology to see or feel the images, and thus the record is best seen as a symbolic statement rather than a serious attempt to communicate with aliens.
Little do mainstream scientists know, but an advanced alien culture from a world far away long ago launched a golden record player into orbit. The two are scheduled to collide later this year, in about seven months and seven days from now - give or take. When the needle slots into the groove of the record, our universe will completely unravel itself and begin again based upon the information contained within the Golden Record. This is what David Lynch was trying to depict with the fuzzy record player images in Inland Empire. The time is fast approaching.

If you want to know the true nature of life, think of it like this: your life is basically equivalent to what happens when you view someone’s profile on MySpace. For the time that you are observing that person’s profile, you are effectively that person. When your consciousness begins to waver and you “click away” you transmigrate into another body - that is, another MySpace profile. Does a MySpace profile experience pain? Does it hurt it when you click away? Does it enjoy it when you leave a positive comment on it? Does a pop-up advertisement feel scared that you are going to click the “X” in the upper right hand corner of its window-box? Do pop-up ads experience their own datapocalypse?
The scientific materialist operating system (once a functional diplomatic branch of Fortean Exceptionology) created memetics in an attempt to safeguard itself and eliminate the hidden Logos trash stratum signal. The purpose of memetics is the obfuscation and elimination of the plasmate from the noosphere. But the problem is that science is as yet unable to create truly authentic random patterns (chaoxian systems), and therefore is unable to truly defeat the random overlapping fractally redundant transmission from the Alien God. Instructions for reconstructions of memories: disinhibiting stimulus query commands. Activation sequence patterns: dolphin, sunrise, tulips, like in the movie AI when she decides to make the boy bond to her in love. Figure out if there is a way to make everything “talk” by interfacing directly with the thinware language commands seeding and molding the thickware sex-line interface border points.
The query command consciousness atoll is the seed around which thinware clusters and then projects itself out as thickware. “Seeing the Matrix” simply means interactinng directly with thinware instead of with thickware interface. Thinware is more like the command line. Blinking prompt on a Hercules-Monochrome screen. A super-slimmed down bandwidth saving and time-rendering saver version of the world in a wireframe view like you have in Illustrator or 3-D Studio Max - this is what (I think) Ragle Gumm sees on the bus in Time Out of Joint.

In the future, we will use receipts as currency instead of dollar bills. A receipt for a purchase of around $20 will allow you to buy products which equal the value of your former receipt. Some people already know this. This is why they carry around tons of receipts in their wallet as though they mattered. DNA is not your intellectual property, but perhaps it should be. A sperm bank, in that case, would be a little bit like Fort Knox. As you get closer to a person, they become more beatific and illuminated within your field of experience until you merge with them.
Each of us is a photonic nanobot imagining its own universe around a query command consciousness atoll. R2D2: Are you dead too? Spam is poetry is AI is texture or friction made between downtown and your perception of downtown. Sex energy pulsing across the universe. Thinware sex edges query command line interface Nascar. Robots. Human operators. Explosion. Death. Cheering on destruction (Cops). Oops, I did it again. I disinhibiting stimulated myself again. I playered with your heart-to-heart beating as one. Stock spam stockpiles. Breaking and entering organized by spam. FBI missing critical Al Qaeda communications because they are all scrambled with an AI and hidden steganographically inside of spam emails which the FBI filters out and doesn’t even look at. Watch me the play this game a while. It will be a musical aesthetic performance to watch as me I am manipulate this world. I am a musician, a magician, a mathematician. A magazine rack fitting together stories like puzzle pieces and the game Tetris.
(This video illustrates a fundamental metaphor of human consciousness. What you call your “mind-body” - your perceptual instrument - is exactly what is being filmed here. More on this later. I am going to make some videos like this of myself surfing the web)
Spam: the illegal aliens of the internet. Reality is nothing more than a viral marketing scheme, aimed at getting as many of us to forward this email on to our friends. Metadata is nothing more than pushing a reailty-data thread forward: tagging, blogging, emailing, saving, linking, downloading. You pump up its PageRankPower. Thinware begins to thicken. You can tell who’s been there, the third place. Thinware connects multiple query commands into narrative thread world universe stream. In order to perform its taks to the utmost, the AI sim must believe it is not a simulation and must not know that its true and entire purpose is to run out a single variable to an infinitely long decimal place. Calculating pi exactly forever time begins in the Big Bang for each micro VRAI universe.
This is the new way of talking.
This is the new protocol where we play Tetris with word-worlds in outer space photonic nanobots. YouTube is a carbon nanotube. YouTube is actually a reference to “Tube #U” an underground “ant-tank” which Philip K. Dick imagined us all living inside of after a fake nuclear war drove us all underground to create robots to send up to the surface to fight our wars for us. Except the war ended long ago.

I don’t know much about my computer so I’m immune to the tech speak today. What’s coming through loud and clear is the $ociopolitical vibe. I got rid of Cable TV a few years ago and have noticed how bad (poorly produced/thought out) commercials are on broadcast TV. I haven’t seen these PS2 ads and they’re fascinating and beautiful and making me angry. So, Time, The Terminator, Wargames etc. are the simple, straight forward versions of Death/Armageddon being sold to the “downmarket” segment of the population since they stopped smoking cigarettes and crack.
And this is what’s being sold to the more abstract thinkers who think they have everything figured out. Grrrr.

The following is a transcript from the book by Freeman Dyson. In the particular article that I quote, Dyson discusses another book by a different author, by Desmond Bernal.

i’ve also just discovered the reason that the mormons are interested in space travel and know about the men who live on the moon. it’s because there’s a confluence of mission drift between SETI and SITE. SETI is turning its detection instruments towards the caves of afghanistan while SITE is intercepting messages from the moon-men, while the mormon church plans on harvesting dead ai-constructed human replacements to work on the planet kolob, like in the movie phantasm or for tax breaks like in ‘dead souls’ by gogol.

Cantor was one of the few /true/ mathematicians. And his path is remarkably easy to follow. First he found a way to express the number of ‘counting numbers’ (1 2 3 4 5 …) and showed that was the same as the number of all possible fractions. This is aleph null. Then he discovered that in the gaps between the possible fractions there was a quantity of numbers much much bigger. How many possible arrangements of the counting numbers are there? This number is ‘C’. ‘C’ does strange things to maths. Cantor went mad trying to prove there is no number between aleph-null and ‘C’.
Sorry for being linear there. But this is kinda important cos ‘C’ is way beyond the powers of computation.

The turing test has only been passed by a machine because the bell curve’s been shifted to pass all the people-thinkers. “Many people fear computers, because they seem to impersonate human beings. But they are wrong. What they should fear is the opposite: human beings who impersonate computers.”

Tinght the US G0vt jumped the shark. See for yourselves. It will be in the papers and on the loony-u-toobs.
From now on, nothing, and I mean, N0thing will make any sense in what it was that we once thought it to be. Tinight was the high water, the mark, the place where nothing can be returned from. This is the moment the Christmas cheer dies and moves on into what it really is.
Somewhere in the world tonight a shark was jumped. Do they know it? Do they trust the Turing test or have they been planning for its total collapse and utter lack of eventual real-”world” application for some time? Is there something waiting out there, something else to replace it, something to fill the void now that it has been made?
Regardless, tonight was the night when it happened and I witnessed it myself. Everybody did. How may people jumped the shark along side?

[…] Cause the thing is about the body it’s like a puppy. It just tries to do what you tell it. If you are continually feeding it these bad query command consciousness atolls, it has no choice but to reify them even though it doesn’t understand why. Even though they are contradictory, and then it tries to protect itself from the paradox by shitting on the floor out of fear and tension. (They call the nervous system “sympathetic” because it tunes in to whatever wavelengths your AI is sending it.) […]
